Acerca de mí

Like it says, here’s a little about me.

Born and raised in Chicago, I am the last and strangest daughter in a tight-knit family of many experiences — we are Indigenous Mexicans from Guanajuato, of Otomi and Purépecha heritage, we share a legacy of post-colonialism, migration — and so much more.

I am a seasoned editorial leader and content strategist. Through culture-shifting journalism, I strive to create digital spaces that are more civically engaging, accessible and reflective of the real world — that serve communities I am a part of (and those I am not).

My written work explores how marginalized communities survive and thrive in the western world; the ways cultural phenomena, art and technology can impact populations in disparate ways and occasionally, I write personal essays, too.

I currently call Los Angeles home.

 
I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. And I am not free as long as one person of color remains chained. Nor is any one of you.
